Summary

John Tulloch, a beloved professor at the University of St Andrews, was a moderate
liberal theologian who sought to reconcile the insights of higher criticism of the Bible
with the tenets of Christian orthodoxy. In his sermon on Religion and Theology,
he says: “Religion is identified with the tenets of a Church system, or of a theological
system; and it is felt that modern criticism has assailed these tenets in many vulnerable
points, and made it no longer easy for the open and well-informed mind to believe […]
without hesitation.” Even so, Tulloch reminds his readers and listeners, not even the
most foundation-shaking discovery of modern science can assail God’s truth, which will
always make itself available for anyone who has faith.
